But on Thursday, McAuliffe said that email was sent out without review.

"They put out a piece of paper that I had never seen or approved," the Governor said on Thursday. "So we're not going to do what they had said."

McAuliffe went on to say that it's common for Governor's to start a PAC, as his predecessors have done the same.

"I've got to raise money to support the candidates," McAuliffe said. "I want to support candidates next year in the Senate, in the House of Delegate races who are supportive of the agenda that I want to get done."
